St. Louis, Seattle, Portland  - The Spotify On Tour Big Green Bus is making its way across the US. Catch up here on all the action from the road and our recent stops at LouFest, Twilight Concert Series, MusicFest NW and more. 

Spotify's Big Green Bus, proudly sponsored by BACARDÍ, made its way to the Midwest for St. Louis' LouFest Music Festival where it met up with artists Phantogram, The Flaming Lips, Wild Nothing, Cotton Mather and more. 

Racking up more miles on the odometer and tons of roadhouse diners, the Pacific Northwest was next. First stopping in Seattle, the Bus parked outside of the city’s famous Gas Works Park for a Spotify Session with Washington natives, Minus the Bear, before making its way to Salt Lake City, where it visited fans at Twilight Concert Series. 


The Bus hit the I-5 and made its way to Portland for a pre-festival party at digital agency, The Brigade, where it hosted a night of music from the band Mimicking Birds and DJ Reverend Shines, before hitting up showcase music festival, Musicfest NW, where it stopped by local landmarks to say hi to friends and artists MUTEMATH, The Pains Of Being Pure St Heart, and Radiation City, before bidding adieu and heading back down South.
